24“Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, for the people I am driving out before you have defiled themselves in all these ways.
25Because the entire land has become defiled, I am punishing the people who live there. I will cause the land to vomit them out.
26You must obey all my decrees and regulations. You must not commit any of these detestable sins. This applies both to native-born Israelites and to the foreigners living among you.
27“All these detestable activities are practiced by the people of the land where I am taking you, and this is how the land has become defiled.
28So do not defile the land and give it a reason to vomit you out, as it will vomit out the people who live there now.
